Tammy Taylor Gives Nail Technicians a Skills Boost:
Pretoria, 31 July, 2020: One would be guilty of assuming that training to be a nail technician would be easy and really simple for those new to the beauty industry.
The truth? The ladies from Tammy Taylor Nails South Africa go through intensive training to ensure they are up to par to meet the high standards of an international brand.
The Tammy Taylor brand is well-known in South Africa for attracting top clients, keen to have the Tammy experience and one-of-a-kind set of nails.
This experience is unmatched in stylishness as featured in media such as People magazine, Rooi Rose, Bona, Essentials, Carte Balance, Living and Loving and more.
Maintaining this reputation requires an in-depth focus on nail technician training, as it sets the tone for client service and skills development is vitally important.
In Pretoria, you will find the Tammy Taylor Nails Academy South Africa, a world class training school where all Tammy Taylor nail technicians receive their training and certification.
Melany Viljoen, President and Founder of Tammy Taylor Nails South Africa discovered the brand while online and made the decision to meet with Tammy Taylor, pursue and secure sole ownership, distributorship and franchise rights for South Africa in order to build the brand.
Melany trained under Tammy directly as well as education director, Mary Stokus to qualify as a master career nail technician.
As she returned to South Africa, Melany using carte blanche built her skills further and when she later franchised the brand a year later, it became apparent that a training school was needed to maintain the standard of excellence.
Melany selected two technicians to serve as master educators and this team ensures that every nail technician in attendance at the Tammy Taylor Nails Academy is equipped with the highest standards possible.
A true mark of excellence, as a Certified Tammy Taylor Nail Technician, is that students must complete a set of classic pink and white acrylic French fade nails in under 1 hour.
They need to do so under the watchful eyes of Melany herself, while explaining the definitive Tammy Taylor 12 step process as they work.
Teagan Schutte, franchise owner of Tammy Taylor Nails, Cape Connection explains, “As a franchisee I was impressed from the very beginning with Mel and the Tammy Taylor franchise. They are in the business of empowering women and giving people the opportunity to be financially independent. My salon is a success due to the impressive skills of our nail technicians, thanks to the Tammy Taylor Academy.”
The Academy has a variety of different courses available to nail technicians who are keen to improve their already established skills or would like to convert to the ‘Tammy Taylor’ way.
Hopeful nail technicians looking to enter the field can also learn to become a Tammy Taylor Nail technician and have carte blanche over building their career.
The courses available include beginners, advanced and conversion courses. There are also gel technical classes available or even an additional sculpt workshop. View our Career opportunities here.
Tammy Taylor Nail Academy also offers a complete masterclass, equipping students with operations and sales training and for therapists, training for Optiphi skincare.
The nail technicians that complete the course successfully and qualify as Tammy Taylor Nail Technicians are guaranteed a job placement in one of the Tammy Taylor nail salons countrywide.
The Tammy Taylor Nail Academy offers extensive product training as well as training on nail building skills and techniques.
This is in line with the vision and focus of Tammy Taylor in the USA, where the focus on product training is vital.
This is solely for the benefit of the technician, in understanding the pertinent details of the products used, to be comfortable with clients by asking questions and to feel at ease in trusting the product and the name it represents.
This promotes the correct and most suitable solutions for clients, resulting in excellent recommendation and a happier customer that you will see again!
Tammy Taylor Nails South Africa will soon be opening an Academy in Cape Town, due to the great success of the Tammy Taylor Nail Academy in Pretoria and the response to a demand for similar services.
This will change the way nail training is perceived and the manner in which it is offered in the Western Cape and in doing so provide the opportunity to train hopeful Tammy technicians all over the country.
